Description

Thorin at length broke the silence, and his voice was thick with wrath. 'That stone was my father's, and is mine,' he said. 'Why should I purchase my own?' But wonder overcame him and he added: 'But how came you by the heirloom of my house - if there is need to ask such a question of thieves?'
'We are not thieves,' Bard answered. 'Your own we will give back in return for our own.'
'How came you by it?' shouted Thorin in gathering rage.
'I gave it to them!' squeaked Bilbo, who was peering over the wall, by now in a dreadful fright.
'You! You!' cried Thorin, turning upon him and grasping him with both hands. 'You miserable hobbit! You undersized - burglar!' he shouted at a loss for words, and he shook poor Bilbo like a rabbit.
'By the beard of Durin! I wish I had Gandalf here! Curse him for his choice of you! May his beard wither! As for you I will throw you to the rocks!' he cried and lifted Bilbo in his arms.

This captures that moment in the book quite wonderfully.
Now. I shall find time to read the book again.
